“Pretty good!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Mostly updated room, flat screen tv, bed soft, several pillows, excellent breakfast. We've had to stay in this area several times over the last 2 years and this was definitely good for the price. If you need to go to Stanford, then this is a good place to stay. We hadn't gotten reservations in advance, as I recalled lots of unchained motels offering specials, of which there were still a few, but we chose this over these because it looked cleaner, more secure and well lit, and was within a lot of those specials' price range. It needs a hot tub, though! All that traffic is so stressful! It was quiet and the rooms were nice; not in the $120+ category, but definitely okay. The Olive Garden is just a few blocks away, Baja Fresh is across the street, and Jack in the Box, Jamba Juice, several other very edible eateries were very close.

“Great updated motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

Stayed at this motel 3 or 4 years ago and it was ok. In November 2011 stayed here again and found it to be refurbished and much to my wife's liking. Clean modern rooms and friendly staff. Will stay here again.

“Comfort Inn Palo Alto”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Very clean room, everything looks recently updated (not including the CRT TV). The included breakfast was nice for the price. I stayed here while on an interview at Stanford, the distance is 4 miles (which is great if you have your own car, but comes up to $15+tip by cab each way). My room was on the second floor somewhat close to the road (El Camino Real), even then I hardly heard any of the traffic.

It's also easy to get to food, just across the road are Baja fresh, Jamba Juice and a very good Thai restaurant called Rice (3 minutes walking distance away). Overall great value for money considering the expensive neighborhood.

“About what you'd expect for $99/night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

It's a bed that is fairly comfortable. It's a breakfast that is edible. It was inexpensive and got the job done.

“do not stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My experience was similar to other reviewers. I wish I had read them first. It was subpar for the neighborhood. When we found a stained sheet, the manager handed us a new sheet and started to walk away, saying he was too busy to help. Later, and late that night, we found suspicious hairs on the fitted sheet. It was so late and hotels were full, that we slept in our clothes between the top sheet and whatever else for a cover. In the morning, we found unclean, folded for use, towels. The manager was arrogant, as one of your reviewers stated. On the first complaint, he simply said that there were no other rooms and we couldn't have a refund. When I complained to Choice Hotels, however, the telephone operator was very nice, took all the information, seemed appalled, and opened an inquiry.
